this all sounds harmless

Pitou Blythe 9/4 near Recolle

A.) Anyone got recommendations on where a creep could get some carrion beetles? I have some bones that need cleaning and after doing my due diligence, this seems to be the best way to clean out all those nooks and crannies. Money is no object :3 B.) You can find ANYTHING on youtube! Anyone want to lend me some power tools while I work on my bone sword? C.) Maybe some leather for the hilt too, hmmmm?

Mohammed Hefaz I'm not sure what it says about me when my first thought is "oh, this is how the first weapons were made" and not "why"
Mohammed Hefaz So why a bone sword?

[playdolls]

It's what Mafuyu wanted.

[prometheanflame]

So now it's my turn to remind her that weapons are dangerous and she has to take this seriously.

[playdolls]

You can but I mean she needed something with more reach. She had to slit that cyclops's throat with a throwing star. That's ridiculous.

[prometheanflame]

That's reasonable, but this girl constantly puts her life in danger to the point that I'm afraid she'll cut herself while attempting a new trick.

Is it too much to ask not to make the sword too cool?

[playdolls]

I'm going to make the sword really cool.

[prometheanflame]

Show her sword safety videos if you will!

[playdolls]

*I* can show her sword safety. I am a competitive martial artist. Also excellent cake decorator. Animal shelter volunteer. Mortician.
Doll painter. I do everything. I'm great.

[ Someone thinks highly of themselves. ]

[prometheanflame]

[Two can play at this game.]

Animal shelter volunteer, too? Have you worked at the Forever Home shelter or have we always worked at different locations? Though seeing how fragile animals are, we both understand that young humans can just as easily be hurt.

But why listen to a confectioner, a historian, an animal trainer, and a well-red man?

[playdolls]

[ HISS. DANDER UP. ]

Young humans can bounce back from anything.
Haven't you ever seen a baby fall down a flight of stairs?

[They're being cruel and flippant on purpose. They disliked the idea that children were fragile, had spent too much time being treated that way as they'd worked their troubled way through several foster homes. ]

[prometheanflame]

[What the hell Pitou. Mohammed doesn't know how to respond to that. It's one thing to bring up a counterargument, but another to reference bodily harm to a baby when he doesn't know if they are talking from experience or just being morbid.]

Of course I haven't.
It's despicable.

[playdolls]

Don't be ridiculous, it happens all the time. You don't have to *throw* them down the stairs, they can fall all on their own.

[prometheanflame]

Have you seen it happen so often??

[playdolls]

This problem is literally what baby gates are for????

[prometheanflame]

What about *literally looking after your children*

[playdolls]

[ Now pitou's just laughing. ]

Children are basically animals, whatever.

[prometheanflame]

We aren't animals that would leave babies alone to hurt themselves!!

[playdolls]

You're really upset about this hypothetical baby.

[prometheanflame]

I'm upset that you could talk about a baby injuring itself like it's some object that fell down the stairs.

Of course I'd be upset when horrible things happen to children!

1/2

[playdolls]

The whole point was that they're not as likely to be injured as you think they are.

Their bones are literally more flexible, and they don't have the mass that an adult has, so their force when tumbling is significantly less.

I bet I can google a statistic, just a second--

[playdolls]

"Only 6 children (1%) sustained proximal limb fractures. There were no rib fracture. There were no deaths or severe injuries such as cerebral hemorrhages/tears, visceral trauma or spinal fractures.

Conclusions: Severe injuries and death do not occur as a result of falls down stairs. The pattern of injury is peripheral with sparing of the trunk. Multiple injuries are rare."

[prometheanflame]

[He is horrified. Simply horrified.]

Even so, I'm not eager to leave a baby alone and shrug it off when it falls. Especially down the stairs.

[playdolls]

You'll make a wonderful father. Who's the lucky broodmare?

[prometheanflame]

"Broodmare"?

[playdolls]

The pregnant one. Who'd you knock up?
